 INTRODUCTION

hygiene
[hy·​giene] noun
1. a science of the establishment and maintenance of health
2. conditions or practices conducive to health

Natural Hygiene is a biological model that is based on hundreds of years

of scientific analysis and observation (Carrington, 1954). Natural Hygiene
recognizes that the human body is fully self-sufficient, self-directing, and self-
healing. The body is capable of maintaining itself in optimum functioning
order if its basic needs are properly met. A simple, natural diet is required to
achieve true health and excellence.

Every animal on our planet has a narrow set of foods that it is anatomically
capable of thriving on. These foods incur the smallest possible burden on the
organism while providing all of the nutrients and energy it needs. Humans
are no exception (Fry, 1976).

Humans are of the classification frugivore. Our natural diet that suits all of our
needs without overworking the body’s metabolism is predominantly fruits,
tender greens, some vegetables, nuts and seeds.

Fruits provide everything that humans and all frugivore species require to
survive and thrive: Proteins in their usable form of amino acids, fats (fatty
acids), vitamins, minerals, various trace chemicals and most importantly
sugar and water.

This book is meant to serve as a brief introduction to the main principles and
tenets of the Natural Hygiene Diet. It is not all-encompassing or exhaustive
in its contents. Please use the many resources and references listed in the
back of this book to learn more.

NOT FIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

Meat Pickled food Potatoes Refined or Processed

THE HUMAN APPROPRIATE FOOD TEST:

1. Does it taste good in its whole, raw, natural form?
2. Can you make a meal from it alone?

If it does not meet these two basic requirements then it is not fit for human consumption.

2. Organic minerals are those that exist in plants

The term organic, when we talk about minerals,

relates to the type of molecule it’s bound to.
Plants absorb minerals from the ground and
water and add extra molecules to them. Humans
need for minerals to have these extra molecules

RAW RECIPES
CRUNCHY ZOODLES & COODLES
INGREDIENTS: Serves 2.
2 zucchini
2 cucumbers
2 Tbs. hemp Seeds
2 Tbs. raw, shelled sunflower seeds
2 Tbs. raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
Juice of 1 lemon

Using a spiralizer, make your zucchini and

cucumbers into zoodles (zucchini noodles) and
coodles (cucumber noodles).

Mix your zoodles and coodles together and divide

amongst 2 bowls. Top each with the hemp seeds,
sunflower seeds, and pepitas. Drizzle with lemon
juice.

Vegetable noodles have a fun, crispy texture. Try

them with different toppings and dressings.

NICECREAM
INGREDIENTS: Serves 2.
2 ripe bananas
1 cup frozen cherries

Chop bananas into 4-6 chunks and place on a

baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Put
baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours.

Combine frozen bananas and cherries into a

blender. Blend until smooth. You will probably have
to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender
several times using a rubber spatula. A little bit of
water can be added if desired.

Any other frozen fruit that properly combines with

bananas can be used, e.g. bluberries or mangos.

RAW APPLE SAUCE

INGREDIENTS: Serves 2.
2 large apples
1/4 cup of dates, pitted

Peel and core the apples, cut into quarters. Place

all ingredients into a blender or food processor
and blend until desired consistency.

Top with a few apple and date pieces if you wish.

Smoothies are a great meal option with a couple of caveats:

1. Drinking a smoothie too quickly may cause a blood
sugar spike. Try to take the same amount of time
drinking your smoothie as you would have eating the
whole fruits.
2. Try to “chew” your smoothie in your mouth before
swallowing. The digestive enzymes from your saliva are
necessary for proper digestion.
3. Always use proper combination of fruits (see p.3).

APPLE STRAWBERRY SALAD

INGREDIENTS: Serves 2.
Salad:
1 lb. of mixed greens or spring mix
2 cups of strawberries, sliced

 WHAT ARE OTHERS SAYING ABOUT THE
NATURAL HYGIENE DIET?
After suffering from many different health conditions for most of my life as a youth and up through my 20s
and early 30s, I tried many different treatments and medications. I even tried several different types of fad
diets to help address these persistent issues which included fibromyalgia pain, horrible brain fog, hypo-
thyroidism, persistent insomnia, and even temporary loss of the use of my leg. After wandering around
lost in the woods of dietary and health information, it was a hygienic diet and the principles of natural
hygiene that finally cleared everything up. Natural hygiene has helped me to reverse all of my issues and
return to a much better quality of life.

Nat Farris

For most of my life I suffered from mild to moderate health issues, insomnia, mental health issue, and
chronic headaches. As I got older these conditions progressed into IBS, chronic pain, chronic fatigue,
weight gain, frequent migraines, anxiety, severe depression and suicidal thoughts which made day to day
life a struggle. I also dealt with extremely painful periods and severe PMS symptoms including severe
mood swings.

Today I am free from all pain, including having a completely painless period with little to no bleeding
monthly. My IBS is healed, I have lost 70 pounds and kept the weight off for 6 years and counting all with-
out having to feel hungry or portion control. I have not had even a minor headache for more than 5 years.
I look younger, I feel joyful every day and I no longer have any suicidal thoughts or feelings of depression.
My hair is healthier, my skin is healthier with no acne or dry skin anymore. Every day I have abundant en-
ergy that lets me do all of the activities I enjoy like gardening and mountain biking. Exercise is a joy rather
than a chore today, all thanks to returning to the natural human diet. Eat fruit and be well!

A Beginner’s Guide

What is the Natural Hygiene Diet?

You will know exactly what it is after reading this book. Within these
pages you will find all of the information you need to get started. It covers
many topics such as nutrition, hydration, digestion, minerals, proper food
combining, and even a few recipes.
There is little else in this world more important than our health. I was
inspired to create this book after experiencing great health benefits from
the Natural Hygiene Diet myself. I hope that by providing concise, easy
to understand information about how to obtain health through diet, this
book will inspire you to try it, too.

“Hygienists have no secret compound to offer, no panacea to sell at a dollar a bottle

and no wonder drugs to produce health in spite of the existence of every reason in
the earth why health should not exist. They can only point to the laws of nature, by
obedience to which we are able to attain and maintain the most glorious health.”

-Herbert M. Shelton
